Boomers - The only generation in history who wanted to leave their children worse off than they were. Spend it all and send the bill to future generations.

- They really blew it

To the Winner of the Ponzi scheme: In your twenties? From my age of 80+, you haven't been out of your diapers or away from your Pablum long enough to know what circumstances you will be in when you reach retirement age. So stop bashing the old people. Some day you will be old enough to wear long pants.

Rivers flood. It's what they do. Built on the flood plain? Dumb-dumb you.

- Iowa, the Very Slow Learner State

To Boomer-basher: I worked 42 years putting dollars into Social Security and Medicare - which was matched by my employer. It wasn't supposed to be spent in the general fund. Don't dis us. It's your government who took it all, then decided you twentysomethings would have to pay. They're the Ponzi schemers, not us boomers. Learn your history.

- With you 50315

To the Winner of the Ponzi Scheme: You are not funding our Social Security. You are funding your own. We have funded our own for the last 40 years in the workforce. Unfortunately, with the way the government operates, your funding may not be available for you to collect when you retire.

- Boomer in Clive

People shouldn't believe what the NRA says about anyone taking away your guns. No one will be taking your guns unless you are crazy and threaten to kill people and send poison through the mail to the president. Don't kill anyone to stop gun safety.

- Sensible

I wish everybody realized that lobsters in the grocery store are not fed because then they would have to clean the tank. So they starve until you drop them in hot water. Now that's high class.

- Cruelty?
